Chapter 577


    Chapter 577


    Come wanted to face Marcus as his wife, but when it came to the crunch, she was all at sea.


    This past year, she had respected Marcus, been scared of his ruthless way of dealing with rivals, and


    admired the deep love he had for his wife. But that was it. No other feelings


    In her wildest dreams, she didn’t imagine Marcus would be the one whose name was on her marriage


    certificate, let alone be her husband


    Just as Comelia was lost in thought, there was a noise from the door handle.


    Thinking it was Marcus barging into her room, she freaked out. She closed her eyes, held her breath,


    and yed possum


    However, it was Patricia who came in.


    Patncia tiptoed to Comelia’s bedside, first gently touched her forehead, then carefully checked under


    her nket. She then left as quietly as she came.


    Cornelia slowly opened one eye, watching Patricia leave


    At the doorway, Patricia said without closing the door, “Marc, you can rest easy. Nelly is sleeping like a


    log and there’s no allergic reaction on her skin. She should be fine.”


    Then Cornelia heard Marcus mumble an “uh–huh“.


    Patricia continued, “What should we cook for Nelly tonight? The usual Rosenberg dishes?”


    Marcus replied, “Rosenberg’s dishes are too heavy for a sick person. I’ve got Finn and his team on it.


    Nelly likes their food”


    Finn, an internationally acimed chef and a celebrity ma, was Marcus‘ personal chef. Probably


    because Marcus paid him a king’s ransom.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Usually, wherever Marcus went, Finn and his team would follow. As long as Marcus needed a meal,


    Finn could whip up something delicious.


    Cornelia had the pleasure of sampling Finn’s culinary creations a few times. Even the humble dish was


    finger–ticking good. But no matter how delicious the food was, Cornelia always watched her manners.


    How did Marcus figure out she loved Finn’s cooking?


    More importantly, he remembered.


    A wave of self–reproach washed over Cornelia. Marcus was taking such good care of her, and she


    thought he was toying with her, keeping her true identity a secret for some


    ulterior motive.


    How frustrating!


    A new message in the WhatsApp group.


    From Zack: [Cornelia, why aren’t you back yet? Is Marcus up to his old tricks, trying to keep you by his


    side?”


    Cornelia replied honestly: [I’m back at his vi with Marcus.]


    Zack shot back [Cornelia, you spineless jellyfish! Can’t you stick to your guns?]


    Abigail defended her right away [Nelly, I’m all for you being with Marcus, but don’t jump into his arms so


    fast. Men don’t cherish what they get easily, even if he’s your husband You can’t sleep with him the


    moment you meet him. You need to y hard to get.]


    Before Abigail finished, Cornelia noticed there were only two of them left in the group chat. She typed:


    [Zack, did you just kick Abby out?]


    Zack replied: [Her ideas are all wrong. She has no say in your rtionship with Marcus. Now let me


    analyze, from a guy’s perspective. Why I’m against you being with Marcus.]


    Cornelia knew all about Zack’s wornes and concerns. [Zack, I know you’re afraid I’ll get hurt again. But


    trust me, Jeremy and that guy are not the same.]
